Sometimes we all need a bit of a restorative break away don’t we and there is no better place for that than the Scottish seaside. It’s even better when you luck out on the weather like Colin and I did earlier this month. We got in our car, scraped the city of our feet, sang some obligatory Cliff Richard and 2 hours later emerged in our flip flops on the beautiful beach in Elie.

Before I even start this post I need to apologise to all of you westenddazies. I have been a neglectful blogger recently and need a smack across the wrists. Life has run away with me recently and before I knew it I had not blogged for weeks (maybe even months). Anyway fear not I have continued to eat and explore in that time so I have many places to tell you about.

The first of which is the fabulous 111 by Nico, located in Clevedon Road in Glasgow’s west end. This is slightly off the normal beaten track for restaurants in the west end but well worth making a detour to it.

It feels like Spring has sprung this week doesn’t it? The sun is out, ice-creams are in hand and the maxi-dresses are flowing on Byres road. So I thought I would share the perfect spring afternoon I had recently in the Hidden Lane Tearoom for my friend Fiona’s hen party. Who incidentally gets married this weekend- congratulations Fiona and Ben!!!!

So westenddazies this week Colin and I were invited to the wine cellars of Corney and Barrow Wine Merchants in Ayr for a tour and a little taste of their house Prosecco. As you can imagine it was a hard day….

So sorry Westenddazies that I have been behind with my blog posts recently. Life has been a bit hectic.

We have been sticking to our clean eating (semi-)religiously and are feeling great for it. However, every so often we feel the need for a little treat. Dinner at the Butchershop Bar and Grill one rainy Tuesday filled this need and more, whilst not totally ruining the diet, which is a big plus. Situated across from Kelvingrove Museum the Butchershop Bar and Grill matches this prime position with great food, service and atmosphere.
